Newsbreakers
August 28, 2008
Outfield Emil Brown was the king of the hill this evening, leading his A's to a 6-5 victory over the Angels. Brown went 2-for-5 at the plate, hitting his 13th homer of the season to card three RBIs and one run scored on the night.

Our View:Brown could use some positive charma going into the last weeks of the season. He's hitting just .242 this month with tonight's homer being jus this fourth of the month, totaling eight RBIs along the way.
August 22, 2008
Emil Brown went 1-for-3 with a homerun, as he helped the Athletics beat the Mariners 2-0 Thursday night.

Our View:Brown has been heating up as of late, hitting safely in five straight games.
August 2, 2008
Emil Brown went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer, and was the Athletics' only source of scoring in Saturday's 12-2 loss to Boston.

Our View:Brown has three homers and five RBI over his last seven games and remains a serviceable option in AL-only leagues.
July 23, 2008
Emil Brown went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Rays. He picked up a second RBI on a sacrifice fly.

Our View:Brown snapped a three-game hitless streak. He now has 49 RBI over 84 games, and remains worthy of lineups in AL-only leagues.
July 10, 2008
Emil Brown hit a walk-off home run in the 11th inning on Thursday in the Athletics 3-2 victory over the Mariners.

Our View:Brown had 21 RBI in April, but since then his work has been highly ineffective at the plate, especially his .154 batting average in June. If Ryan Sweeney is placed on the DL with his injured pinkie Brown could pick up more work, though a .215 batting average against right handers could force him to continue to be platooned.
June 28, 2008
Emil Brown went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Friday's 4-1 victory over San Francisco.

Our View:Brown has 43 RBI over 68 games. He has struggled through a rough patch of the season, but is now seemingly back on track as he registered six RBI over his last four outings.
June 24, 2008
The Phillies and A's matched on the number of hits posted in tonight's interleague battle, but it was Oakland emerging with the 5-2 win powered by the bat of outfielder Emil Brown. Brown went 1-for-3 with his sixth homer of the season to total three RBIs and one run scored.

Our View:Brown has been struggling through a horrific stretch at the plate, going 4-for-25 in June coming into tonight. He had not homered since May 19th, so we hope this gets the slugger back into an optimistic state of mind.
June 12, 2008
Emil Brown missed his second straight game on Wednesday due to illness, according to the SF Chronicle. It is unclear whether he has a stomach virus or food poisoning.

Our View:Brown racked up 37 RBI over 58 games, but is only hitting .194 over his past 25 contests. His playing time has taken a hit since Travis Buck returned from DL and rising star Carlos Gonzalez came up on May 30. His role could be reduced even more when Ryan Sweeney returns from DL on Friday. Manager Bob Geren said that most of Brown's work will come against left-handed pitchers.
May 6, 2008
Emil Brown remains the top producer in the A's lineup. He went 2-for-4 with an RBI against the Royals on Tuesday. Brown owns 28 RBI through 33 games.

Our View:Brown has bounced back from an awful 2007 season. We like what he's doing thus far, but fantasy owners shouldn't rely too heavily on him. Brown is 33 and working under a one-year contract, which means the A's might easily push him aside if their record sours as the season continues.
May 2, 2008
Emil Brown continued his ultra impressive start to the season on Thursday night as he went 4-for-6 with two runs scored and his 26th RBI of the season.

Our View:With Jack Cust and Frank Thomas struggling to do much of anything on most nights, Brown has been a godsend for the A's with his potent RBI bat. There's no way Brown will keep up his 140 RBI pace, but there is nothing wrong with riding a hot bat while you can.
April 22, 2008
Emil Brown hit a two-run homer on Tuesday. It's his first long ball on American soil this season, as his previous shot came on March 26 in Japan.

Our View:Brown isn't a terribly exciting fantasy option, but he is a dependable bat who can fill out a bench in mixed leagues and definitely help in AL-only formats.
April 18, 2008
Emil Brown went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and three RBI against his former Royals mates. Mike Sweeney, also a former Royal, had three hits and two runs scored as well.

Our View:A great night for these two who for one night showed the Royals that they shouldn't have given up on the duo.
March 26, 2008
Emil Brown slapped a three-run homer off Jon Lester in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox. It was Brown's only hit on the day, but he'll return to the States with four RBI through two games. It's a promising start for the former Royal.
January 11, 2008
The A's signed Emil Brown to a one-year, $1.45 million deal Friday. Brown can also make up to an additional $1.5 million in performance bonuses. He hit .257 with six homers and a team-leading 62 RBI in 113 games last season with the Royals. The A's are loaded with left-handed hitters, so the right-handed hitting Brown should certainly get plenty of playing time against southpaws.
